It's entirely possible the employee had more than one hat and was dabbling in customer service that day. it's not unheard of in the IT field for the buckets to mix when demand states it. Being said the better question is how you could mistake a shutdown/deactivate button as an apply button

apperently cloudflare thought the same as they removed the button from the panel the employee used lmao
